Hi all,
I got accepted to masters programs at Harvard (Statistics) and Stanford (ms&e), and I have some difficulties choosing between
the two. The thing is that I'm an international (french) student, and I'm not sure about the reputation of both schools in the US..
I have listed a few criteria to help me in my choice, so maybe those of you who now the two programs can help me out:
- Quality of education?
- How are master student considered (I mean are we considered like second-class students, or are we taken seriously?)
- Quality of grad life (housing, places to hang out, events, ..)?
- Are people friendly, open?
- How is the alumni network, is there a good career center for non academics?
- Reputation of both universities (overall? in the specific field?)
- Which degree will be the more valuable?
- Any other criterion I did not think about?
Oh, and I don't know exactly what I want to do afterwards, so the traditionnal Tech -> Stanford, Business -> Harvard doesn't really hold..
PS: sorry for the spelling but english is not my first language..
